Hide Your Eyes

by Mike Johnson

Book Two in The Raising Light Trilogy

Ever popular thirteenth century Persian poet Rumi acts as poetic inspiration and intermediary in this powerful collection of love poems. At turns sacred and mystical, historic and contemporary, this suite of original verse sparkles with intensity and perceptiveness.

Hide Your Eyes: The Rumi Poems explores the fraught interface between divine and profane love, where the mystical and earthly meet. These original poems draw from the world of the poet Rumi, the world of the moon, the guest and the beloved as we approach the joy the terror and the paradox of love.
